Our participation in PC(USA) Mission Challenge ‘07 begins on Saturday, October 20th! Is your congregation ready?

On Sunday, Oct. 21 or 28, please use the bulletin inserts you received in the mail. Some extra copies are available at the presbytery office, or call (800) 872-3283 for additional inserts.

Our guest missionary, Ted Wright, sends the following message to us:

“Nearly 50 of us missionaries are spreading out to visit 144 presbyteries. We represent every continent and variety of work–covering the spectrum of PC(USA).

“When I come to Scioto Valley, Oct. 19-25, I want to share information about Presbyterian mission. What in the world is the church doing today? Where? Why? How? Who are your missionaries (not only the ones you know)? What is our life like? How can a local church connect?

“Using some of my own stories and experience, I’ll try to put a face on world mission. I will invite both my audience and the churches in general to build (or build upon) a relationship with a missionary of their choosing. I will have some DVDs, PowerPoints, and a table display. And, of course, I will be available to answer people’s questions.”

Mission Challenge ‘07 is the largest event of its kind ever carried out by our Presbyterian church.

You and your congregation are invited to be part of this new movement. Please make sure that your and some other members of your church attend one of the six evening gatherings:
